If you think that the best you can get from a date with five girls from Tuscany is a gorgeous dinner, you’re completely wrong: The Cleopatras are gonna offer you some genuine…rock’n’roll!!! Forget the idea that rock is a man’s pleasure and enjoy the show: garage-punk attitude and sound, with a little bit of Tuscan irony! Camilla, Rossana, Alice, Darleen b. and Marla are riding the wave of rock’n’roll since 1998, and people often refers to them as “the queens of Italian female garage-punk”. They played all around Italy, touring in their 1985 VW van, opening for bands like Morlocks, Lords of Altamont and Real McKenzies, and took part to many festivals like Festival Beat (Piacenza), BusOne (Piacenza), Festival Surf (Teramo), etc... In 2009 they toured UK playing also at Peter Parker's Rock'n'roll club, that once saw the Rolling Stones first recording sessions. The Cleopatras recorded two 7"; "The Cleopatras" (2000) and "Let's run with..." (2001). After a 'meditation' break, The Cleopatras are back with a new line-up that released the album "Things get better" in 2010 for the label Area Pirata, which was very well reviewed by italian and non-italian magazines and webzines. They also recently appeared in the book "Le ragazze del rock", dedicated to the female rock scene in Italy. The sound of the Cleopatras is mostly influenced by garage, surf and 77punk: Sonics, Ramones, Cramps, The Trashwomen, New York Dolls, Link Wray, and 50s and 60s female garage bands. So, you’re getting the point, are you? These girls are gonna give you an energic and funny show, in one word….rock’n’roll! ***see it to believe!***.
